Drive a stock car like the pros do!
Get behind the wheel of a real stock car and put the pedal to the metal in a real stock car. It’s just you in the car with 400-horsepower in your control!
Your incredible car racing experience begins with a 45-minute driver’s meeting where seasoned racing instructors will go over driving techniques, safety procedures, and everything you need to know for this high-speed adventure.
No instructor in car, no instructor in the car, and passing allowed! How fast you go is up to you!
Then its time to feed your need for speed! You’ll slide through the window, into the driver’s seat, get strapped into the 5-point harness and connect the earpiece up under your helmet. You’ll be able to hear your instructor as you are racing around track. Your instructor will be advising you on braking points, changing gears, and coaching you the entire time to get your speed up to an insane level.
No stock car racing experience required!
With your loved ones on the sidelines watching you live your dream of driving a race car like the stock car pros, you’ll be laser focused with the rumble and roar of the engine blocking out everything but the track ahead.
